Many accidents on the drill floorwhile pipe tripping involve using tongs. Injuries result from being caught between tongs and being struck by swinging tongs. All tongs should be securely attached and anchored. Tong safety lines should be of sufficient length, preferably allowing a 90° breakout angle between the. .
Ensure that the crew is up to strength and that individuals know the tasks to be carried out. A communication system should be operational between. .
Considerable preparation is required before the trip is commenced. The following are among the most essential actions that should be carried out. .
Having completed the preparations outlined in the previous section, the trip out of the hole can be started. The following procedure is proposed as a guideline: 1. Flow checkthe well with the pumps off to ensure that the well is static. 1. Pump a slug. This enables the pipe to be pulled dry and the hole to be accurately monitored during a trip. 2. . .
Tripping pipe (or "Making a round trip" or simply "Making a trip") is the physical act of pulling the out of the and then running it back in. This is done by physically breaking out or disconnecting (when pulling out of the hole) every other 2 or 3 joints of at a time (called a ) and racking them vertically in the .

[pdf] While the mechanics of drilling a well are very similar for floating, bottom-founded and onshore operations, the po-tential safety and environmental consequences of an inci-dent ofshore,. .
Another proactive step typically taken to mitigate the in-creased risks of ofshore operations is a shallow hazard assessment, which will examine the risks that might be. .
Simultaneous operations plans (SIMOPs) are developed to consider additional risks that occur when two work activities are being done at the same time within close proximity to one another. Communication of SIMOPs risks and hazards during floating drilling. .
Several proactive steps are typically taken to mitigate the in-creased risks of ofshore operations. One of these proactive measures is an environmental impact assessment (EIA), a. .
Hazard assessments are also conducted for ofshore safe-ty concerns. Safety cases identify the hazards and risks of various operations, and then document how the risk is controlled and.
